atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 FAC17 MECHA TIME TO VOTE hi guys PM RAMBO top 3 in order by august 3rd kthx cobaltstarfire Faulken friendlyHunter Ninja-san Rambo Rawk Hawk relyanCe Sindra Vilecat bonzai ferret ----------------------- Welcome to the September 2008 edition of OCR's "official" Fan Art Competition (FAC). The winner of the previous month gets to choose the following month's theme. Last month's winner, Ninja-san, decided to go with Mecha for this month! If your unfamiliar with FAC then here is a FAQ thing sorta. FAQ What is the Fan Art Competition? The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme. What is the theme? The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition and must be video game related. Who can submit art? Anyone What are my restrictions? You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions. Who decides the winner? OCR of course, the whole community votes on it. How does voting work? On the day after the deadline I will make a post that displays all of the art submitted. Then users will be allowed to see every entry and decide which three they like the best, in order. Afterwhich they will send me a PM with their vote and maybe a few comments about the contest. They must do so in the announced voting period. If not then they fail at voting. When and how do we see the results? After the voting period is over I will count the results and figure out which peice has the most points. When voting the voter sends in their top three favorite peices. The one they like the most is worth 3 points, the second 2 points and the third 1 point. If I enter the contest can I vote? Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you REALLY wanna. Once the points have been counted I will send a happy PM to the winner that tells them that they one and explains how they are to choose the next months theme. Once I get a PM back I will post the results and artists choice for the next months theme. Rules and Regulations! 1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme. 2) No nudity. 3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme. 4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry. PM me all entries by: September 27th Alright! Lets get started!

Gollgagh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 dammit, I wish I had a tablet or a scanner or SOMETHING so I could input my drawings digitally I would totally make something for this Quote
DJ Mighty Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 damn, i actually have time to do a full drawing and shading. too bad im not a big fan of Mecha's and have no idea what games even have them, so i will most likely not be submitting anything... Quote
Faulken Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Hmmm not sure what I'm going to go with here-more a case of too many ideas than not enough... Still, this one should yield some pretty varied results Looking forward to seeing what people come up with Quote
atmuh Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 someone please post a list of games that would apply Quote
Sindra Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I can think of robots to use, but not necessarily mecha. Shows how little mech games I play.....except for Dynasty Warriors Gundam, which doesn't count. Quote
Faulken Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 someone please post a list of games that would apply Off the top of my head... Mech Warrior Front Mission Metal Gear Solid 1/2/4 Zone of the Enders 1/2 Virtual On Various Megaman series-I guess only those 'power suits' from X if we're being technical about mechs FF6 (Magitek armour?) ...I guess Metroid? Anything with a big mechanised boss is probably applicable, so most RPGs if you look hard enough. Also, there was this crazy japan only mech game, where you played as the US president in a giant mech fighting the vice president trying to usurp you with a mech army, or something like that xD I can't remember what it was called, but it sounded like the best idea for a game ever lol Quote
Gollgagh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 do the mechs themselves HAVE to be in a game? Quote
Vilecat Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 someone please post a list of games that would apply Fast Google search on "mecha games" gave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mecha_simulation_computer_games It's only Mecha sims, and there are dozens of games that have at least a robot in it even if it's not the main character. Megaman, the Magiteks from FFVI and Robo from CT are the first things that come to mind when I think about robots. There's also ROB, Metal Slug, Xenogears/saga, Metal Gear, Spriggan, Mass Effect, Sonic, Chibi-Robo, etc. Unless we're making a distinction between robots and mecha? And damn you Ninja-san! I'm not good at all with anything that has bolts and screws. Edit: no nudity?pass.. Naked giant robots? Re-edit: I completely forgot about Starcraft, shame on me Quote
Sindra Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 See, that's my confusion. Are we including all types of robots like Megaman, or "Mecha" in the stylized sense of "Mechanized Armor" akin to Gundam and the like? Quote

Quote
Faulken Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Does Xenogears and Xenosaga count? I've never actually played those games, I'm afraid to admit, but if we're including robots then I'm sure that's a yes. Quote
relyanCe Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 somehow... I knew this month would be mechs. I have no idea how but i started on my entry on like the 2nd and it still applies lol. Quote
cobaltstarfire Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Hmm, mechs are hard, but I'll push myself to the challenge. Maybe... Quote
DJ Mighty Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 lol i just thought of one, looks like i will be submitting one after all!! Quote
Ninja-san Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Haha I'm creating confusion! When I thought of the idea I thought it could be like the zombies where you could make characters into Mehca Like a Mario Mecha vs a Bowser mech. And I guess robots can go into the theme cause ... they are the same. Its up to Atmu. I cant do Mecha either btw XD Quote
Rambo Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 "Goliath online." Edit: I see vilecat has beaten me to it. Quote

And I guess robots can go into the theme cause ... they are the same. Its up to Atmu. I cant do Mecha either btw XD So you're saying we should take the theme based on the translation of the word (which means anything robotic/mechanised)?And I can't either. But I'll fight you Ninja! Consider this a challenge. RAWR! Quote

Sindra Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Score! Hehe....I have just the idea too. And if that doesn't work out, I have a backup idea. Quote
relyanCe Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I think my entry has just changed based on all that information. gg precognition... Quote
Ninja-san Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 And I can't either. But I'll fight you Ninja! Consider this a challenge. RAWR! Hoo Haa! I accept! Quote
dish Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 works for meive been pretty easy with entries thusfar guys i dunno if youve noticed that Apology in advance if I'm pushing it. Are movie tie-in games allowed? For example "Transformers The Movie The Game"? Quote
